We need a Higgins type........to compliment our talls.....

One other thing. Why do we dish off immediately when tackled and hand it over? We need to hold it up more.

Oh and I expected much much better than what we dished up. The umps were horrid in the first qrt but we were equal to the task. We have a very long way to go.

re: Lynch...did his job, could have kicked a couple more, he was there more for presence than output IMO........Weitering was ok too used the ball ok out of defense and didnt lose contact with his man like he did last season. We are restricted it seems to using Newman to deliver the footy out of the backline, really missing Docherty in this area.....

Too many passengers, Charlie Curnow included.
We were our own worst enemy for most of the game - bad decisions, poor use of the ball.....

Two things stood out
(1) Transition from the Tigers HBF - an absolute training drill for the Tigers. As the ball came into our forward line they simply press forward with purpose, leaving a sweeper at the back of the pack for release or to run past for a handfall. Cost us 5 goals. Coaches must get on to this - exactly the same thing happened against the bombers.
(2) Work rate/Intensity - Tigers had far more intensity right from the start and often outnumbered blues runners 3 to 1 in general play. 1st and last quarters very poor
Weitering, Jones & Plowman very good tonight/cant fault.
Walsh, Cripps, Setterfield, Cunnngham all very good
The experiment with Ed Curnow in attack has to end. He's simply a poor decision maker and good teams capitalise on silly decisions.
SPS, Newman & Thomas patchy - did some ok things but made some very poor errors. Samo doesn't waste a lot but his intensity needs to lift.
Garlett, Murphy simply not hard enough at the contest a number of times. Murphy's time as a mid is close to over and probably needs to swap with Ed Curnow.
Fasolo, McGovern talented but largely absent. Not convinced that McGovern is such a huge upgrade on Casboult especially given Cas' ability to ruck.
Phillips needs to catch the ball & I dont like McKay rucking
I'd put C Curnow on wing, he was slaughtered by Grimes.

I have had a gut full, my son is 16 years old(been a member since he was 2 weeks old), all his life bar one unusual year we have been putrid and everyone in the AFL has kicked and spat on us while we have been down.
I have tried to remain positive but he has lost all interest in footy and it breaks my heart.
I grew up in the glory times and all I see now is selfish men all doing the 9-5 thing to get a dollar, all looking after number 1, club is number 3 or 4.
I now have a very jaded view of football and chuckle when I hear , Fasolo had an off night or Setterfield was a bit rusty. It reminds of, Digby Morrell needs time to gel or Adam Hartlett needs to settle and get game time or Cameron Croad will be a great players because he has a cool name. All false dawns and all talked up by people with a glass half full attitude.
I like this type of attitude but as a Life long Carlton supporter it has worn thin and only results will satisfy now, no more talking, no more BS.
IT IS TIME.

@ Jon Dora
Spot on. The Tigers transition from defence to fwd was breathtaking to watch live.
Though Cunners was good early but went quiet.
Ill say it again, our fwds never get into space. Theirs do it with ease.
H was very good.
